Passengers must keep phones charged

Air passengers flying to the United States will have to make sure their mobile phones and tablets are charged as part of increased precautions due to the threat of terrorist attacks.

The new restriction means that any electronic device that has a flat battery will not be allowed on to the flight, the Department for Transport (DfT) advised.

Yesterday, US authorities announced that airport security staff may ask travellers to turn on their electronic equipment to show they have power.

The heightened security comes amid reports two terror networks are working together on a bomb that could evade existing measures.

Last week the DfT said undisclosed extra measures at British airports were not expected to cause ''significant disruption'' to passengers and noted that the official UK threat status remained unchanged.

Changes were announced after Washington Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson ordered beefed up security at foreign airports from where aircraft fly directly to the US.

US officials were reported to have said the move was the result of intelligence that al Qaida's chief bomb maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who is thought to be based in Yemen, had linked up with jihadists in Syria to pass on his skills.

Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, has said the increased airport security measures are "unavoidable".

And he warned of the dangers of "complacency" among the public in the face of the failure of the terrorists to mount any successful mass casualty attack in the UK since the 7/7 bombings in London in 2005.

No change from most other religions then. They're all as bad as each other. Remember, nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition ;-)

This media report is because of the Islamic Terror threat to kill hundreds of people by blowing up an Aeroplane , no other one's threat, just Islamic terrorism. Most Muslims are peaceful, but 99% of terrorists are Muslim....they are the threat to you and your kids future. the Spanish Inquisition ;-) as you have mentioned was to rid Catholic lands of Jews and Muslims cost in lives just over 4000 during that period from 1560-1700, 140 years... To date, 10 days of Ramadam 2014, Terror Attacks 72, Suicide Bombings 8, Dead 442, Wounded 514....all in the name of The Religion of Peace, and this is in ten days, since 9/11 there have been over 23,342, deadly Islamic terrorist attacks across the world. Today the Middle East is falling apart. In reality, the Middle East has always been an unstable environment but recent events have proven how violent the Middle East has become all under the guise of Islam. From a very early age young Muslims are taught to hate and that the infidel must be killed. I find it very interesting that the “religion of peace” continually uses brutal and lethal violence as a means to convey its message. Each and every day we bombarded with news about Islamic violence or videos of be-headings, beatings, torture, and rape. All in the name of religion! When it comes to Islamic violence you cannot afford to project your values, morals, and ethics. Many videos of Islamic violence and more often than not the result is unwarranted brutal murder in the name of Islam. Recently, ISIS was pompous enough to produce a video called “Clanking of the Swords” which shows their continued **** for violence – all in the name of Islam. you may think what I post is Islamaphobic, yes those who protect this religion are Christianaphobic, what I know is important is to make people Islam-Aware, keep it quite lose your Country simple as that, unless we start to realise that this so called Religion of Peace is not what it say's on the label the quicker we stop the spread here, I believe the Government are now taking a positive look at this Islamic Ideology to rule this Country through stealth. Islam is the problem not us. we do not see videos of Christians or unbelievers, infidels, kuffar's beheading or killing innocent people, we do not see videos of Hindus beheading or killing innocent people. we do not see videos of Buddhists beheading or killing innocent people. we only see this from Islam! and not only do we see it but they continually provide more videos of their violence and proudly share their brutality for the world to see. Islam is a religion that preaches hate and has an insatiable **** for violence, Killing in the name of Allah. Islamist's like people making excuses for their behaviour, it gives them their right to continue killing for their Religion....The people who do or say nothing are the very people who will let this happen here in our Country...but that's just my opinion,and perhaps millions of Britons...
